(Attorney General Loretta Lynch.Alex Wong/Getty Images) Attorney General Loretta Lynch expressed regret Friday for meeting with Bill Clinton earlier this week, adding that doing so had cast a shadow on the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado, Lynch was asked about her unusual meeting with the former president aboard an airplane parked on an Arizona tarmac. Friends, supporters, backers are saying, What on earth was she thinking talking to Bill Clinton? So, what on earth were you thinking? The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart asked during an onstage interview. I think thats a perfectly reasonable question, Lynch said, noting that many had wondered whether she could objectively oversee the investigation into the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s emails. She added: Certainly my meeting with him raises questions and concerns. Believe me, I completely get that question. AG Loretta Lynch: People have raised questions about my role in the Clinton email probe https://t.co/8I58ZMGkGD https://t.co/tDwtnNXl9A — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) July 1, 2016 Lynch said she thought the real question was her role in how the matter is going to be resolved. The attorney general said the case was being handled by career FBI investigators who would make recommendations that would ultimately be reviewed by the FBI director and career supervisors in the Department of Justice. I fully expect to accept their recommendations, Lynch said, confirming news reports from earlier that she intended to stay out of the investigation. Lynch insisted that her meeting with the former president was social and that the two discussed his grandchildren and golf, not the investigation into his wifes use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. Nevertheless, Lynch said the meeting had cast a shadow on the FBIs investigation and expressed regret that she allowed the meeting to take place. I certainly wouldnt do it again, she said. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump used the meeting to attack Hillary Clinton, tweeting early Friday that she probably orchestrated the meeting out of fear she would be indicted over her email conduct. Lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle have also criticized Lynch for the meeting, contending the optics alone eroded the publics trust. White House press secretary Josh Earnest faced numerous questions on the topic from reporters on Thursday. He deferred mostly to Lynch but said President Barack Obama had confidence she would not allow politics to contaminate the investigation.
